Beautiful bike! That's a Brough Superior and was ridden by Lawrence of Arabia. Did you know they are making them again?

Might have to call on the good folks from across the pond for the answer to this one. Just image her with a different set of clothes. To my knowledge the oldest full length motorcycle movie ever.

Sgt you got bike correct.
The rider was England's most famous movie star and ukulele player before WW2 - George Formby.
George's bike was "Speed Demon". The first full length motorcycle movie was "No Limit". (1935)

The First Motorcycle song was also in this movie - "Riding in the TT races" (Isle of Man)

Later Michael Jackson did the "Speed Demon" Video.

It doesn"t look like a ZX-14. I've been aways from sport bikes to long. I have not ridden with any large groups for over 6 years. Loosing track of what they all look like since I only bought Hondas.

Its a Y2K jet powered bike and owned by Jay Leno. It certainly would smoke a Hayabusa, once it got up to boost !
